Sensible move.

Is it not news-worthy… That an 18-month-old Palestinian toddler was allegedly held in detention for 10 hours Tortured by Israeli soldiers using burning cigarettes and nails All to force a confession from his father? Look at him Because our press will rather you didn’t.

It was a war, but it also wasn't a war. It never started, but it's also over. The regime is destroyed, but also we're talking to the regime. Sssshhhh ... don't worry your little head, just clap when Big Daddy talks.

His 6 month old stopped breathing! HIS SIX MONTH OLD STOPPED BREATHING! A father was getting his kids out of the neighborhood because it was unsafe & ICE threw flash bangs & tear gas at his car with children & a baby inside! His 6 month old stopped breathing & all the children were hospitalized!

What Jack says!

The company knows just who that somebody is and I'm pretty sure a government that gave a shit would have no trouble prying that information loose.

Dismissing the intrinsic value of truth is a sign of profound moral decay

But to be fair, all Reform types speak 2 languages: English and Gibberish.

So the highest thing in Trafalgar Square is an Ottoman military honour, gifted by a Muslim sultan to a British admiral, commemorating a specific victory — and Nelson thought enough of it to wear it above everything else. 6/8

A brilliant description of all post-Brexit negotiations by the Tories by @jillongovt.bsky.social 'As an outcome of rubbish negotiating tactics with a timetable dictated by a photo op rather less so.'

Oxford’s free Park & Ride buses will continue until at least May, funded by income from the congestion charge. Oxfordshire County Council says further plans for spending the income will be considered by the its cabinet later this spring. news.oxfordshire.gov.uk/free-park-an...

Ah yes, kill hundreds of innocent children and the correct response (In Trump's America) is to further restrict scrutiny by the media, and hence public.

Cllr Chewe Munkonge is to become Oxford’s first Black Lord Mayor. The Lord Mayor is sworn in at the traditional mayor making ceremony in Oxford Town Hall in May. Cllr Munkonge grew up in Zambia and moved to the UK in 2003, first being elected to the City Council in 2014.

In case you missed it, we are suing ICE for their unlawful practice of conducting warrantless arrests without probable cause. www.wosu.org/politics-gov...

7 years ago, we learned about Bob Mueller’s conclusions. Today, there are a lot of posts on social media claiming it was a farce, or worse, a fraud. But those posts are disinformation. Here is the actual information, with links for those who want to do a deep dive. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

It's hard to see exactly what the #LibDems are doing in these tricky times with their 72 seats. But this initiative to stop #Palantir is worthwhile.

FT Exclusive: Traders made bets worth half a billion dollars in the oil market about 15 minutes before Donald Trump’s post touting 'productive' talks with Iran sent the price of crude tumbling ft.trib.al/SVLeLoM

Exactly 5 minutes BEFORE Trump announced a 5-day delay in bombing Iranian power plants, someone purchased $1.5 billion worth of S&P futures in a single trade. Someone also sold $192 million in oil futures. Trump and/or his cronies are engaging in market manipulation and insider trading.

Double tap strikes to kill school girls and first responders - a repeated pattern across Gaza and Iran. Utter barbarity.

Defra update 23.3.26 A report of Yellow-Legged Hornets in Sawtry, Cambridgeshire made on 13 March 2026. Several dead hornets found. From the additional information supplied, it seems likely that there was a YLH nest in the area in 2025 which went unreported.

The world’s most honest disclaimer.

To The United States of America: When your President & his staff don’t know how to spell the word ‘which’ on a missive as important as this then you know you’ve elected a bit of a dick. 😊

The Covid Inquiry still wiping down lecterns rather than taking measures against airborne spread of covid. Telling.

I agree, it is a fiasco and unfortunately the council's public statements have been both contradictory and misleading. Parents and children in Banbury deserve better. www.banburyguardian.co.uk/education/it...

For all those opposing the bill over inequality: right now, wealthier people are able to travel for a dignified death, others aren't (and even they have to do so without their loved ones, as they could be prosecuted). Stop placing hypothetical suffering over present, actual suffering, please.

less than three months out from the World Cup, Trump touts the presence of ICE agents at airports and says they're "very fertile territory" for arresting foreigners

People who call themselves humanists are varied in their opinions, convictions, motivations, and goals. But they are united by the values they have in common: like making decisions on the basis of rational thinking and simple kindness. How humanist are you? humanists.uk/quiz

NEW The US guided missile attack on a school in Minab in Iran looks like a war crime By me, at @prospectmagazine.co.uk www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/th...

Just imagine a conversation between Trump and Badenoch. Trump will say he'd reduce Council Tax by 300%,400%, maybe 500% whilst Badenoch will be saying yes, we'll reduce Council Tax so that it only goes up by 10%.

On Friday, I visited Balscote Quarry Nature Reserve with representatives of the Banbury Ornithological Society. We spoke about wildlife enhancements and protections for nature, and their work in trying to hold on to a range of declining bird, invertebrate and plant species.

The UK could do this too. We should.

Trump is suspending sanctions on Iran and Russia, which will put over $15 billion in their treasuries to help them fund the wars against us. It’s stunning. We have never ever seen this level of war incompetence in American history.

The real story… under any other president this would be jail time…

Oh Donald, I think you'll find America being a laughing stock was a high point...

Visited Rome last week so had to go through EES. Well done Fiumicino Airport, plenty of booths to register and people pointing them all out. Took poss 5 minutes, read passport, facial recognition, fingerprints. But the system didn't recognise me on leaving, no reason given, so still had to queue :-(

Five-time draft dodger says what now?

NEW: The Trump administraiton has lost more than 7,000 immigration detention cases in recent months. Increasingly, DOJ is telling judges they have no argument to present or couldn't get facts from ICE to present in court. A look at this emerging trend. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

Trump has no plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, so he is threatening to attack Iran’s civil power plants. This would be an attack on civilians. This is what Putin is doing in Ukraine. This would be a war crime. End this war in Iran.

Just a thought. Watching Trump's assault on the Middle East, can some people take off their blinkers for a moment & see why many genuine asylum seekers do so because they have no choice? Claiming asylum is not illegal, & is often an act of desperation.

Chris Murphy: "We're gonna give Iran $14b to fund this war with the US? We're gonna give Russia billions to fund their war with Ukraine? We're literally putting money into the pockets of the nations we're fighting. We've never seen this level of incompetence in war-making in this country's history"

Chris Murphy: "It's just disgusting, it's so heartbreaking that we have a president who is cheerleading the death of American citizens. Mueller is amongst many who have been trying to hold this president to account. He's the most corrupt president in the history of the country."

YES Also, @chrischirp.bsky.social in the UK has been doing a superb job at documenting the Trump regime’s abuses

But he mostly cares about himself and making money. In fact, only cares about himself and making money.

It really is the point. If a Conservative front bencher is allowed to make a discriminatory Islamophobic argument like this without sanction from his party - indeed with support from its leadership - that represents a major erosion of anti-prejudice norms and indeed of religious freedom norms.

There wasn’t a single Democratic elected official who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death. Not one. Donald Trump is openly celebrating Robert Mueller’s death and no Republicans are condemning him. Both sides are not the same.
